In my opinion, the best Americano is a cup of dark, rich, full bodied goodness. This isn't what I found here. What I got was that sour tasting light body coffee. I'm not an expert, but my tastebuds didn't like this. My wallet didn't like the cost of approximately $3.50 for such a simple brew concoction. The ship was so minimalistic and almost sterile looking. I guess that's what some people like, but I like character, and strong, rich coffee that doesn't make my mouth pucker.
